Torn bravery

We are stretched and torn by all directions by too many people. Pleasing everyone one day you just break free. Thats when you are satisfyingly happy.

love lost love gained,

some far gone some remain,

memories tainted,blurred vision,

never try to hold them, failed mission.

get up dust your knees,

abandon the leach and flees.

Reach out dive high

spread your wings,leave the glaring sky.

torn; fallen down,

fallen angels!! neigh never drown,

speck in your eyes remove it,

plank in others discard it. 

up up you try,

and thud thud you fall,

look back, wings are nailed, everywhere a greedy snarl. 

Never let them near,

Hold your ground.

fight that trailing tear,

leave them astound. 

brave face , deafening scream,

nail aside and a broken wing,

head held high, self caressing!

Spread them up though its one,

fly high , smile sly and the task is done.

ignore non caps in the start :)
enjoy the metaphors of the present and past.

Old wise wisdom. Better to have loved and lost than never to known love.
"love lost love gained,

The opening lines were my favorite. Another old wisdom. Love isn't free. It shall cost plenty in the end. Strong thoughts left a lot for the reader to think about. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
